    It doesn't matter. People get divorced because they don't want to be together, and while they're avoiding each other, they do other shit to fill time.

    "Fortnite hypnotized my spouse" is just classic cope

      I think there is actually a 'games are just really really fun and addicting' component to it as well. Especially since other forms of entertainment like movies and TV can more easily be a shared experience.

      No no no. Fortnite is the proximate cause. Before Fortnite, couples simply stared into each other's eyes beautifucally while whispering their eternal love at one another.

      Then Epic Games came along and introduced destructible building material, and this destroyed the American family.

    So it's the modern version of Evercrack. Back in my day, there were internet forums for so-called EQ Widows, and I won't deny that it had a (small) role in my divorce at the time.

    fortnite is probably more fulfilling than the average American marriage tbh so I don't blame the gamers

    During pandemic times? Cause then it would kinda make sense for the excuse.... That said rabid gamers tend to be not the best partners. You know the type - that have little life outside the pc and the moment they come home from work they sit down and play World of Tank or some shit for several hours, even though they have been grinding the same thing for years now. Of course there is a lot here to discuss about their life, maybe depression, may e the quality of their relationship, but all the person on the other side sees is someone with no ambitions and goals in life, and more interest in the stupid game than them.

    I immediately thought this was related to the couple's kids annoying them into a divorce. Thus, they'd only have to listen to fortnite for partial custody time.
